draught horse
Heavy farm equine
A draught horse is a large, heavily built horse bred for pulling heavy loads—plows, wagons, brewery carts.
Breeds like Clydesdales, Percherons, and Shires are draught horses.
The spelling is British; Americans write draft horse.
Before mechanization, draught horses powered agriculture and hauled goods through city streets.
